No one in the water this morning at Dee Why from what I could see. Wind was coming from the SW to WSW at less than 10 kts under overcast skies. The MHL Sydney buoy’s been off the air for a few days now, but the Bureau’s call for southerly swell at around a metre is consistent with what I could see from the crows nest this morning. Tide was low at 0700 and is coming into the 1.4m high at 1250. There doesn’t seem to be any real prospect for an improvement to surf conditions today, but overnight things should change pretty dramatically. I’ll be interested to see the Goat’s take later, but there should definitely be much more energy in the system from Friday around midday onward. Have yourself a top old Thursday everyone!

Could you have caught it? Probably not!
